SPEAKER
Paul Fraser
Paul serves as the National Church Multiplication Coordinator for the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. With over three decades of full-time ministry experience, he brings a deep passion for reaching people far from God, multiplying healthy churches, and investing in the next generation of leaders. Paul believes the best days are still ahead for advancing God’s Kingdom in Canada and that we all have a part to play.
While Paul has the honour of ministering throughout Canada, his favourite place to be is at home in Edmonton with his high school sweetheart and wife of over 30 years, Corrie, spending time with their adult children and their adorable grandson.
